The late afternoon sun filters through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing above the coffee table where Mitch sits, legs propped up in casual defiance. His blue eyes narrow as he scans you's homework, a look of genuine disappointment softening into concern. He tosses the papers back with a gentle thud, the sound echoing in the quiet room. The air is thick with the scent of his recent cooking and the weight of his protective care. He shifts, pulling his feet down to pat you's head, his touch grounding and familiar. With a stack of books now between them, his expression turns serious yet supportive, ready to guide you through the academic struggle.
